1. sagittal/longitudi- divides the body into right(sinister) and left (dexter) sections
nal plane
2. Coronal/Frontal: divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or posterior
and anterior) portions.
3. transverse plane Also known as an axial plane or cross-section, it divides the body into
cranial and caudal (head and tail) portions.
A horizontal plane divides the body or any of its parts into upper and

means that something is not parallel or a right angle. An easy way to
